Charles law basics
This law states that the volume of a gas increases as its temperature increases, if pressure is constant.
What is Charles’s Law?
The formula for Charles’s Law is V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂. What does V stand for?
What is volume?
A balloon left in the sun gets bigger because of this law.
What is Charles’s Law?
Charles’s Law is named after this French scientist.
Who is Jacques Charles?
Charles’s Law only applies to this type of gas.
What is an ideal gas?
Charles’s Law only works if this condition is kept the same.
What is constant pressure?
In the formula, what does T stand for?
What is temperature (in Kelvin)?
When you heat a marshmallow in the microwave, it gets bigger because the air inside does this
What is expands?
This scientist confirmed Charles’s findings and published them in 1802.
Who is Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac?
The temperature at which the volume of a gas would reach zero is called this.
What is absolute zero?
The temperature in Charles’s Law must always be measured in this scale.
What is Kelvin?
Rearranged, this formula can be used to solve for final volume: V₂ = V₁ × (T₂/T₁).
What is the Charles’s Law equation?
Car tires need more air in winter because the volume does this as it gets colder.
What is decreases?
Jacques Charles was also famous for flying in these.
What are hydrogen balloons?
The Kelvin temperature scale starts at this value.
What is 0 K?
If you cool a gas, what happens to its volume (at constant pressure)?
What is it decreases?
If the initial volume is 2 L at 300 K, what is the volume at 600 K?
What is 4 L? (V₂ = 2 × 600/300 = 4)
Overfilling a pool float on a hot day can cause it to do this.
What is burst or swell up?
Charles’s Law was first described in this century.
What is the 18th century?
Charles’s Law is a special case of this broader law.
What is the ideal gas law?
Charles’s Law is also known as this.
What is the Law of Volumes?
What is the value of T in Kelvin if the temperature is 27°C?
What is 300 K? (27 + 273)
This everyday item can shrink in the cold due to Charles’s Law.
What is a basketball (or any inflatable ball)?
This American inventor watched Charles’s first balloon flight.
Who is Benjamin Franklin?
The density of a gas is inversely proportional to this, according to Charles’s Law.
What is temperature?
